Osian and FAW press officer Ian Gwyn Hughes have been invited to appear on stage at the National Eisteddfod this afternoon.

National Eisteddfod officials said last week a decision whether Wales’ Euro 2016 heroes should be inducted into the Gorsedd must be taken by the Gorsedd y Beirdd and not the National Eisteddfod.

A spokeswoman said the Gorsedd of Bards is a separate organisation to the National Eisteddfod, although there is a close relationship between the two bodies the closing date for nominations was in February but it was hoped the footballers could be honoured in 2017.
